初めまして。 Before they departed from Hyrule Castle Town, Dieter had momentarily parted ways with Zitos to reserve a room at one of the inns. He’d taken a couple minutes to his inspect his quarters, deposit his satchel full of purchased goods, and to adjust himself. He quickly ran his boar bristle brush through his unruly tresses, attempting to tame them in preparation for King Zitos’ promised surprise. He hadn’t forgotten that Zitos had mentioned paying a visit to the Deku Court to be entertained. He nervously set his brush down on the edge of his bed, examining his reflection in the Inn’s crude mirror. He purposely ran his hands along his robes, smoothing out some of the wrinkles as he made his way to the Castle Gates. He smiled polite at the two accompanying guards and offered a short courtesy to the Zora King. Once he straight himself out again, he began walking along the road that lead to Lake Hylia.
“ Are you curious about your surprise, King Zitos?”
Dieter inquired shortly into their brief journey. The Deku Dancer took this opportunity, further elaborating about the Deku Palace and its’ surroundings. He took care to not divulge any information regarding its’ layout or the current state of its’ affairs. Before too long, they’d arrived at Lake Hylia. The sight that greeted them was simply breathtaking. The entire lake itself looked as it were ablaze, its’ surface painted a mixture of vibrant oranges, bold reds, subtle pinks, and spattering of eye catching yellow. If one got closer to the edge of the water, they’d find that they could peer deep into its’ depths; such clarity was seldom found outside of the Zora Kingdom. Dieter inhaled slowly through his nostrils, savoring the refreshing, clean air; it wasn’t tainted by body odor or obnoxious amounts of perfume.
“ King Zitos, this little pearl has but one more request. Please close your eyes and no peeking.”
Dieter tactfully expressed his demand, awaiting the other’s compliance before he went any further. Currently, he stood at the edge of Lake Hylia, the very tips of his toes absentmindedly tracing semi-circles on its’ surface. Oddly enough, if one got close enough they’d clearly see that Dieter’s feet never dipped below the water’s surface; an ability that was commonplace among those of Deku descent. Their lightweight actually allowed them to waltz upon the surface of water if they so desired, it actually took a bit of effort to force themselves to sink.

[attr="class","smdbody"]The sun was in the midst of sinking, its rounded form approaching the horizon as the day began to surrender to the night. Their departure from the adequately-sized town had gone smoothly, with King Zitos's mood having brightened with each passing moment. His eyes had often shifted in the Deku's direction, appreciating such soft and lovely features that the little creature had been blessed with. He had noted his movement - the gentle sway of hips - steps that were always lightly taken. The little pearl's voice presented itself in a soft purr, his mannerisms only reflecting his noteworthy position as a dancer. Their conversations had been lengthy and even a bit revealing in nature as Dieter proceeded to offer up information in relation to his people. The Zora would listen and respond, his interest clear as he questioned or responded to certain pieces of information that had been lain before him. The little Deku proved to be an excellent conversationalist, and his presented skills were comparable to that of a diplomat; for he could manipulate and veer without disrupting the flow of conversation. 'This is fairly surprising,' he thought. 'It required me several years to become a proper word smith. Of course, I had very little talent for it as a child.' The lake served as a blessedly familiar sight, and it triggered a pleasant warmth that originated from the very chest of the king. "I'm very interested in seeing this gift you've prepared for me, my pearl," he drawled. Zitos had very little idea of what he could possibly be given, but exercised patience as allowed for his eyes to shut. His guards remained attentive, settled closely as they observed the pair with sharp eyes. They were still uncertain of what to make of their king's little companion, but remained wisely silent as their suspicions fueled their wariness. "As you wish." It was a phrase rarely spoken by the king as he allowed himself a moment of vulnerability by temporarily surrendered his ability to see. |  [attr="class","smdlyrics"] strike [attr="class","mdlyric"]me down [attr="class","giveitlyric"]give it everything you've got |

初めまして。
The Deku Dancer continued to idly trace shapes upon the water’s surface, otherwise remaining motionless as he waited for King Zitos’ compliance. He unhurried craned his head to the left, a cascade of flaxen locks slid out of place obscuring one of his aquamarine orbs. His left hand had subconsciously drifted upward to the left side of his chest, gently clutching at the sheer fabric covering his heart. He felt its’ beats quickening nervously, the excitement building within him. It was strange, wasn’t it? Even after thirteen years of performing before Deku Royalty, every single action he took being scrutinized by a sea of onlookers; the thrill and sensation of freedom it granted him never once waivered.
“Thank you Mi’Lord.”
Dieter said softly, the melodic tone of his voice caressing Zitos’ ears. HIs attention immediately shifted to his duo of guardsman, his gaze lingering on them for a fraction of a second. He offered them a mirthful smirk as he wordlessly brought a singular finger to his coral-hued lips, gesturing for them to remain quiet until his preparations were complete. His head craned to the right until it once again faced forward, peering out at the setting sun on the horizon. He hesitantly took his first step forward, nervously inching his way forward atop the ever-undulating waves. Oddly enough, each step brought with it a rushing sensation of relief, shortly followed by an instance of clarity; his body would remember what his mind forgot. Dieter continued outwards, abruptly stopping roughly four feet from the shore. His gaze shifting downwards, momentarily peering into the crystal-clear depths of Lake Hylia. He couldn’t help but let out a bout of laughter as a couple fish daringly swam beneath him, the tips of their fins piercing the waters’ surface and grazing the soles of his feet.
“You may open your eyes, Mi’ Lord.”
Dieter shouted, his voice reverberating across the Lake. He immediately let his own eyes drift shut, his lips moving fervently in silent utterance of an incantation. He’d elected to make use of his own magic, Dryad’s Domain , it’d allowed him to see if he was drifting further out or too close to the land; it’d be terrible if a single misstep ruined his surprise. Dieter’s lips pursed as he began to hum to himself, a seductive rock of his hips signaling the beginning of his dance. His arms shifted out to the side, tracing delicate patterns in the air as one leg extended out as he opened his stance. The intensity of his dance quickly escalated, his body becoming a blur of flaxen locks and billowing fabric. All the meanwhile, Dieter’s smile never once waivered, even as perspiration began to trickle down along his brow.
The setting sun helped create the illusion that the Lake had erupted into flames and that Dieter would daringly dance among them. His dance went on for what felt like an eternity to him, yet in actuality was a mere seven minutes. Once he felt the end of his routine coming, Dieter began to slow down, signaling the end with the same seductive roll of his hips. Only once he’d finished did he open his eyes, nervously awaiting to see King Zitos’ response.

[attr="class","smdbody"] Memories emerged - of long ago - of time spent as a child. As the Deku preformed his dance, his movements were comparable to that of the departed queen's; for she had been a steadfast lover of such a treasured art. 'This...' His expression soon morphed into that of wonder, the emotion which swelled within his chest poorly concealed as he revealed himself to be utterly enraptured by such a grand display. And while a hint of sadness surfaced, he could not ignore the joy that caused his mouth to spread wide in a prominent smile. Narrowed pupils focused upon each subtle motion - all appearing purposeful and well-executed. The dance was likely a well-practiced one, the Deku's facial features relaxed as he allowed himself this moment of pure concentration. 'This is simply wondrous.' The guards looked on, their stoic expressions crumpling briefly as they too focused upon such a distraction. His ability to settle comfortably upon the water's surface without dipping below was also something to be openly admired. The dying rays of the sun bathed the lithe figure with their light, and the picturesque quality of such a scene could not be denied and would not be easily dis-remembered by the trio. "My pearl." The Zora regathered himself, but his pleased expression remained firmly in place. The little Deku was now looking to him, awaiting either his approval or dismissal with a subtle show of uncertainty. "I cannot help but feel unworthy of such a gift," he said, a chuckle slipping free. "It was beautiful. Yet such a word simplifies what I have just witnessed, I fear." He extended his hand, encouraging for Dieter to return to him. "Return to me, so that we may talk further. I shall reward you handsomely for what you have given me on this day." The sky was beginning to grow pale, stars beginning to emerge as the sun gradually vanished from view. |  [attr="class","smdlyrics"] strike [attr="class","mdlyric"]me down [attr="class","giveitlyric"]give it everything you've got |

初めまして。
In the midst of his routine, he swore he’d heard King Zitos utter his endearing nickname; albeit his tone held a possessive edge to it. Perhaps, he’d imagined it but nonetheless the thought of it prompted his lips to curve upwards into a spirited, jovial grin. Ironically, despite his gargantuan stature, the Zora King was quite well-versed in wordplay and flattery; a true necessity within his select inner circles. Dieter nodded his head in acknowledgement of King Zitos’ demeaned, delicately waltzing across the water’s surface. Once he’d reached the edge of the water, he’d paused to glance over his shoulder at the last bits of the setting sun on the horizon. His head craned towards the sky next, his eyes widening as he saw a star shooting across its’ vast expanses. It might have seemed childish, yet the Dancer still hastily made a wish. In that instance, Dieter desired nothing more for this moment to last for an eternity; he’d gotten a taste of what it meant to truly be free.
He shook his head at his own naivety, internalizing chastising himself for his immaturity. He’d sworn his life to fealty, he was honor-bound to return to the side of the Deku Royalty and his people. It was selfish to desire anything more, yet hadn’t he earned that right after dedicating thirteen years of his life to earn his spot by their side. No, it wasn’t the time for such thoughts, he needed to savour the present. With that in mind, Dieter stepped across the Lake’s threshold, once again savoring the sensation of the grass tickling the soles of his feet. He moved gracefully to King Zitos’ side, gently placing his petite hand on top of the King Zitos.
“ You don’t have to reward me, Mi’Lord; the memories of today are more than enough.”
Dieter said softly, his words were genuine though. King Zitos had given him something that no number of rupees could ever manage to purchase, he’d given Dieter something so precious; he’d given him a fraction of his time. It was something he’d never get back, yet both of them could cherish for the rest of their lives.

[attr="class","smdbody"] "Nonsense." Expectantly, the king remained firm in his decision. The Deku required something of value, and the king would deliver despite the protest. "Guardsmen." The Zora's large paw wrapped itself gently 'round Dieter's hand as he spoke. The little pearl was delicately-structured, and each action toward him was a careful one. The larger individual had no desire to cause any amount of harm, after all, and controlled his strength with ease. The royal settled comfortably upon one knee and peered over his shoulder at his official companions. "A stone, please." The request was a fairly odd one without any amount of context given. But his subordinates understood and understood it well - for they quickly produced a rounded orb wrapped it brown cloth. The material was removed before gently being placed within Zitos's grasp, revealing a small and perfectly spherical item which appeared to have a multitude of symbols etched into it. Closer examination would reveal that it was masterfully crafted, the designs intricate and unique. "Accept this," he said. "For it serves as a key." The Zora's smile only widened as he proceeded to explain its use. "If you reveal this to any of my numerous guardsmen they will deliver you directly to me if I am within my kingdom. I encourage you to make use of it if you come to desire my company once more. Do you understand, my pearl?" | [attr="class","smdlyrics"] strike [attr="class","mdlyric"]me down [attr="class","giveitlyric"]give it everything you've got |

初めまして。
Inwardly, Dieter chastised himself for denying the other’s offering. He’d already surmised that King Zitso would remain obstinate, adamantly insisting that he wanted to reward the Deku Dancer for his impromptu performance. King Zitos swiftly refuted Dieter’s protest with a singular utterance. Now the tables had turned, it was Dieter’s turn to marvel at the Kings’ restraint and tenderness. His heart began fluttering nervously as he felt King Zitos’ hand encircling his own. An unexplained shock slid along the length of his spine, materializing itself as a scantly audible gasp. His eyes immediately shifted towards the ground in shame, his cheeks transitioning from alabaster to the color of rose quartz. Only when King Zitos addressed his guardsmen did Dieter dare to glance upwards. His aquamarine orbs settling on the duo, eyeing them with a mixture of caution and curiosity. What did King Zitos’ intend to gift him? Truthfully, he should of known because he’d witnessed them purchase a number of items at the market earlier that day, yet he was too frazzled to recall a single one.
What was wrong with him? Dieter internalized this particular inquiry. He was a trained warrior, why was he acting like a maiden? He dismissed those thoughts as he observed the duo producing a small spherical parcel, it was wrapped in high quality brown cloth. What could that be? Dieter wondered briefly, one of the guardsmen sating his curiosity by unwrapping the intended gift. Even from a distance, it was breathtakingly beautiful. The sphere was a subtle shade of ivory that had been painstakingly decorated with countless intricate designs; it must have cost a fortune. Aforementioned thought only served to further Dieter’s objection and desire to politely decline. He truly believe it wasn’t right for him to accept such a gift for doing so little as providing King Zitos with a few hours of stimulating companionship and a few minutes of entertainment.
King Zitos silenced Dieter’s objection before he could do more than open his mouth. Dieter glanced down at the offered stone once more, listening to King Zitos’ explain that it was much more than it appeared; a literal key to his kingdom. Dieter’s face flustered ever so slightly as he began to read between the lines, understanding the certain implications King Zitos had veiled in his words. His gaze shifted from King Zitos’ amber orbs to the ground as he slowly extended his hand. Gently closing it around the offered gift before he brought it to his chest, pressing it softly above his heart. He could feel his heart fluttering nervously beneath the sphere, threatening to burst free from its’ bony cage. He curtly nodded his head, taking a second or two to compose his thoughts.
“ I accept your gift, King Zitos. I assure you I promise you, I will gladly visit your domain as soon as I can.”
Dieter reassured King Zitos with a nervous smile, his eye daringly raising up to meet the Zora Kings’ gaze.

[attr="class","smdbody"] He delighted in Dieter's subtle displays of bashfulness and uncertainty, and suppressed that damnable urge to allow laughter to bubble to the surface. King Zitos prided himself on his self-control, after all. So, the smug smile which would grace his facial features as he took note of the little pearl's appraisal of the offered gift was a purposeful one. "You may do whatever you wish with this treasure," he instructed. "My only request is that you keep it within your inventory. It shall not be sold nor returned - for it is yours." The item was unique and offered to a select few; meant to serve as a metaphorical olive branch of sorts. King Zitos rarely allowed individuals absolute access to his kingdom, protective of both its contents and the people whom occupied it. The spheres were each crafted with absolute care by an artist - some made of black stone - others of marble. Designs etched within the hardened material typically boasted the depiction of a sea-oriented beast. The one that currently rested within the Deku's grasp revealed the shape of a dolphin surrounded by markings which represented the sea and its contents. "I look forward to your visits," he said. "But you need not feel as though you are being pressured to return to me." The paw which had originally offered the item now reached toward the soft counters of Dieter's face. The pointed tips of his claws would move to gently skim the surface of the little one's soft flesh before he wielded a single finger so to tilt the younger creature's head toward him. "There is little need for you to avert your gaze. I would prefer if you were comfortable within my presence, little pearl." He paused briefly, something strange gleaming within his eye as he allowed the male a moment to process these words. "We are... friends, are we not?" The king awaited a response, patient and eager for the Deku's reply to reach his ears. | [attr="class","smdlyrics"] strike [attr="class","mdlyric"]me down [attr="class","giveitlyric"]give it everything you've got |

初めまして。
Dieter’s fingers tips tentatively ran along the engraved dolphin, uncertain why anyone would part with such a wondrous gift; especially since it indirectly appealed to his deepest desire. Freedom , that lone thought resonated deeply within him, even if it contradicted the oath of fealty he’d taken to his King and Queen. His grasp on the sphere tightened further, the color gradually blanching from his knuckles. He silently thanked the goddess that King Zitos couldn’t see his eyes at that very instance. Their aquamarine depths had been painted with a mixture of insatiable yearning, unbridled joy, and lastly a tinge of sadness. His lips curved upwards a fraction of an inch as King Zitos voiced his keenness of a visit. Shortly after, King Zitos tacked that he didn’t want the Deku Dancer to feel pressured to do so. Dieter curtly shook his head in response, trying to affirm that such thought was trivial.
Much to his surprise, Dieter’s eyes widened as he saw King Zitos’ paw reaching upwards. Each passing second felt like it began to drag on indefinitely as the Zora’s hand drifted closer and closer to his face. If King Zitos paid close enough attention, he’d see that Dieter had visibly trembled as the pointed tips of his claws skimmed over his flesh. He didn’t doubt that King Zitos could feel the same febrile heat radiating from his now crimson cheeks. The next thing that he knew was that one of the offending fingers had tucked under the small of his chin, ever so tenderly craning his head backwards. Once more, his aquamarine eyes peered into the depths of Zitos’ topaz eyes. Somehow, they seemed different from earlier. Why? , Dieter questioned, unsure of how to interpret the foreign gleam.
If only King Zitos could understand, Dieter didn’t avert his gaze out of discomfort, but out of uncertainty. Why did this man possess the ability to unnerve him so easily, despite years of having performed in front of his people and being scrutinized by another guardsman? What makes it so different? Why do I feel nervous around you? Alas, Dieter denied the truth, placating himself with a falsehood. He didn’t bother to acknowledge the similarity to prior event, specifically when he’d developed a childish crush on one of his instructors.
“ I consider us friends…”
Dieter said softly, his voice trailing off indefinitely. Its soft tone was barely above a hushed whisper. A sudden wave of panic seizing him, his heart lurching painfully in his chest. How would King Zitos react when he discovered Dieter’s true role within the Deku Kingdom; the spear and shield of his people.
Will you still look at me the same, when you find out my secret?”
Dieter’s gaze softened, concealed with its’ depths was a degree of uncertainty; one scarcely recognizable by even himself.
